• Tusker EV car benefit scheme for a sustainable commuting option.

The Role

• Lead by example - managing your own recruitment desk while mentoring and developing consultants within your team.
• Drive growth by identifying and developing new business opportunities across both Transactional & Qualified Finance across the Central Belt.
• Build and strengthen client relationships, acting as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders.
• Shape strategy, collaborating with senior leadership to refine and expand our finance proposition.
